Sette Bello - Food VIC

5 /5 ZHENGHANG YAO: I booked the Valentines Day set menu. The ambiance was great, and the staff were very welcoming. Most importantly, the steak and shrimp risotto were delicious. I highly recommend this place for a date.

5 /5 Mayur Katariya: Sette Bello is always busy, it has a great reputation with local businesses and people. We often go here for business lunch or dinner. Very highly recommended for any sit down good meal opportunity. Prices are met with quality dishes...you get what you pay for. They are also known for their stakes but I have only tried their pasta, most pasta are freshly made by them. GF options are available too.

3 /5 Ky Crescent (Hillary K): This was our second visit to Sette Bello. Our first experience was exceptional. The eye fillet steak, shoestring fries, and rocket, parmesan and pear salad were all amazing. Easily 8/10 experience and one we raved about afterwards. Unfortunately, our second visit didn’t quite live up to the first. We started with the pumpkin arancini. It was crispy on the outside and soft inside, but the flavour was dominated by pumpkin with no real balance of flavours. The olives, while tasty with a slight aniseed note, were served boring and bland. They would’ve been elevated with some crusty Italian bread. The tomato and buffalo mozzarella salad was another miss; the tomatoes seemed pre-cut and lacked freshness, leaving them squishy and stringy. The beef lasagna was the biggest disappointment — clearly reheated and completely lacking texture, coming out soggy and flat. Overall, this visit felt more like a 3/10 experience compared to our first. Here’s hoping Sette Bello returns to the quality we experienced the first time, because when it’s good, it’s really good.

3 /5 Peter Armstrong: Had our Anniversary dinner here, thinking it was a high end Restaurant. It did not live up to this expectation other than the price they charge. Was expensive, service was ok, but seemed like pretty much a bunch of young kids without a lot of waiting experience. The food was ok, nothing special, portions for the price were not great and mains arrived with nothing with them (salads/breads). Entrance to the building should have been the giveaway, as it looked like an area under renovation. Inside the decor was neat and tidy, but tired, with an open area beside the bar stacked with extra tables, chairs and other chattels from the place out in clear view. Disappointed given our expectation and the prices we paid.

1 /5 Edrina Ho: Our first visit. Positioned to impress but failed to deliver. We ordered our mains and contemplated on having starter. The waitress didn’t seem pleased to take a second order later as she claimed that the order had to be complete in one for the kitchen. We obliged as she appeared impatient to wait. After serving us the drinks we decided to order some oysters but instead of being happy to take the order, she asked if we would want to stop the kitchen from cooking the mains? The response is unacceptable as the kitchen protocol is definitely not customer oriented. We decided not to order any extra drink or dessert as it doesn’t deserve it. The food presentation doesn’t deserve the price tag and food tastes ordinary. Won’t return for sure. Joy breaker.
